You're going to have to give us more to go on. A screen shot or sample upload or something. Because ellipses look exactly like I expect ellipses to look like when I encounter them in Sigil. In Book View or Code View, I see something very similar to …

Thanks. Yes, the ellipsis in code actually looks like more of a fat underscore. In Book View and in emulators, however, it looks like the three dots (a normal elllipsis).

The screenshots were in code! (Unless I'm horribly missing something.) And checking out something else, I stumbled across an instance where a regular ellipsis (...) AND the funky-fat-underscore-faux ellipsis were in the same screenshot. (And it's attached.) I just took a MS word doc, saved it as 'web page filtered' as an HTML, opened it in sigil and looked at the code.

On 2016 1/2 is the regular ellipsis: "I cant' waste any more time, Mare..."

I believe that what you're seeing is the 3 periods are just that , three periods. And the 'funky ellipsis' is three bigger dots that are real close together.

On my monitor 100% is really small. You might try setting Sigil by the slide bar at the bottom right to about 130% and that might make it clearer. You can set the font as stated above, and also the size of the default text if that would make things clearer in preferences.

The software used by Sigil and Calibre for page display is not at all the same as used by nearly any reader device.

thanks, man. I thought there was no way what you said was right. I mean, it clearly looks like an emboldened underscore, but when I turned up the magnification I could see the three dots. Amazing! lol thanks so much

Your suggestion to magnify allowed me to see that there were actually three dots there. Appreciate it.
